Izzy Cox ........is an anarchist crooner
she has coined the style Voodoobilly
Jazz as her own;
Influenced by old movie soundtracks,
Old time bar room blues and country singers.
Her lyrics are like diary entries..
Stories of serial killers, buckaroo cowboys,
snake handlers and sports of nature .
**************
She had a unusual childhood, for the
formative years of her life she would
live part of her years in rural texas, and
then in french canadian montreal.
Throughout her moving around she was
part of a religious organization where
she played in marching bands.
At the age of twelve she found
the traveling bug, she lived and worked
in horse racing tracks, traveled with circuses
and took part of many early punk rock mosh pits..
***************
All by the age of sixteen..
At sixteen she released her
first two tape track recordings..
while she was locked up in
young juvenile delinquent
Institutions.
And has never turned back..
Till she was 27 years she was involved with a
leading and progressive musical movement
in montreal putting out 10 records and
playing 4-6 night a week... and her peers consisted of ..Godspeed! you black..,
Rufus and Martha Wainwright, Arcade of fire,
The Dears, The unicorns, the stars,
ashtray hearts ..basically the top 20
of independent music today..
***************
After a 15 year career in the East Coast
She caught a Greyhound to Hollywood
California...
*************
At a backyard vegan barbeque hootenanny in
silverlake, she met guitar player Billy Pitman, who, up to
that time had played with pretty much everybody he would
want to (Jimmie Vaughan, Hubert Sumlin, Janis
Martin, Gatemouth Brown, LouAnn Barton, Billy Gibbons,
Brian from KIX, Rev. Horton Heat, Eric Clapton,
and the list goes on)except for Izzy after
seeing her solo set.
****************
After only five years she put out four albums
and has opened up for and counts among her peers
Wayne Hancock, Jr Brown,Jack White, Candye Kane,
Big Sandy and the Fly Rite boys,Devil Doll and
Soda and his million piece band,The Jim Rose Circus,
and counts among her fans Todd the Surfer,
Quentin Tarantino, Gene Autry and
Rick Rubin who apparently dug her
stripped down sound from live
appearances on college radio stations.
****************

She has dedicated her life to touring
& playing music & writing songs about her

experiences...now she resides
in three states....Los Angeles C.a., Austin ,Tx
& New York, Ny....
and would like to play
your musical venue, house party, death march etc.... And here as a few words from Izzy Cox.."Some people have cars, some people have houses
hell some folks are married...but thats all the same
to me as long I have my guitar and my songs..."

Sincerely

Influences: you listen and tell me xoxxo
Sounds Like:
You Are 20% Left Brained, 80% Right Brained
The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning. Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet.The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports. Are You Right or Left Brained?David Lynch, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Patsy Cline, Tori Amos, Johnny Cash, old movie soundtracks (this i've been getting a lot). A poetic madness with true voice of sadness that can move mountains. A True Original.
